When Mia DaPonte was young, she learned that her mother had become an Open Water Diver. Mia decided to become a diver, too. But the youngest one that can start training as a diver is 10 years old.
Once Mia came of age, she got serious. First, she got her Open Water Diver certificate (合格证书). Mia lives in Rhode Island, where the oceans are cold, and people usually can’t see very far. But she didn’t let that discourage her. It’s a rule that when one is diving, they should always have a companion — a second person working with them when diving. Mia’s mother decided to take all the courses Mia was taking to be her companion.
Mia completed 78 dives — far more than the 50 needed to become a Master Scuba Diver. But Mia had to wait for her last two courses — Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver. That’s because one has to be at least 12 years old to earn these certificates.
Over the week before her birthday, Mia did most of the training required for the last two courses and she passed the Advanced Open Water course on her birthday. The next day, when she was officially 12, Mia finished the Rescue Diver course.
That was not getting along without difficulties. Mia did three dives in one day, including one deep dive down to 17.5 meters and she had to made her night dive. The hardest part of the course was showing that she could raise an injured grow-up diver to the surface and take the steps needed to help restart their breath.
Mia says she feels proud to have become a Master Scuba Diver. But she doesn’t plan to stop there. She’s interested in getting more training as a diver. In the future, she hopes to become a marine (海的) biologist.
24. What made Mia’s mother take the same diving courses?
A. Improving her own diving skills.
B. Setting a good example for Mia.
C. Watching over Mia’s training process.
D. Being Mia’s diving partner as required.
25. Why was Mia unable to become a Master Scuba Diver according to paragraph 3?
A. She couldn’t see far in the sea.
B. She didn’t have a companion.
C. She didn’t finish the dives that were needed.
D. She was too young to attend related courses.
26. What challenged Mia most about the Rescue Diver course?
A. Diving deep to 17.5 meters.
B. Finishing three dives one day.
C. Performing first aid on adults.
D Making night diving by herself.
27. Which of the following can best describe Mia?
A. Tough and strong-willed.
B. Determined and open-minded.
C. Serious and easy-going.
D. Curious and warm-hearted.
C
Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas.
There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest.
The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company.
Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.”
28. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past?
A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming.
C. Plant variation. D. High humidity.
29. What can we say about the movement across Britain?
A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable.
30. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Further. B. More unlikely.
C. Quicker. D. More costly.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests
B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain
C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain
D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests
D
In 2020, scientists claimed to have found a sign of life on Venus (金星): a smelly gas called phosphine that’s made by tiny living things on Earth. The claim was quickly stirring up disagreement. Now, another smelly gas is making waves in the search for alien (外星的) life — now turning to a planet beyond our solar system. Researchers announced on April 16 that they had used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to discover a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature (生命印记) .
The University of Cambridge, which hosts several of the researchers involved in the discovery, was quick to promote the finding as the strongest sign of biological activity outside the solar system. Some media agents followed suit to publicize the DMS as a likely sign of life.
But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva, an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said.
Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere. Each gas leaves unique marks in the light, which appear as squiggly lines on special graphs. They compared these lines to 20 different molecules (分子). Sousa-Silva pointed most of the molecules aren’t structurally similar to DMS.
National Geographic contacted some experts to find out what to make of this new biosignature claim. Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day. They stressed on “one day”.
32. Why did the researchers consider DMS as a sign of life?
A. It is mostly made up of phosphine.
B. It is just as smelly as phosphine on Venus.
C. It was found on K2-18b that has living things.
D. It is mainly produced by living things on Earth.
33. What is Clara Sousa-Silva’s attitude to the new biosignature claim?
A. Doubtful. B. Excited. C. Confused. D. Uncaring.
34. How did scientists identify DMS in K2-18b’s atmosphere?
A. By observing ocean plants on K2-18b.
B. By directly collecting gas from K2-18b.
C. By studying starlight passing through its atmosphere.
D. By matching it with 20 molecules of similar structure.
35. What can be inferred from the experts’views in the last paragraph?
A. Findings from JWST’s are quite disappointing.
B. More evidence is needed to confirm the claim.
C. They believe that life surely exists on K2-18b.
D They confirm the discovery a big achievement.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Too much stress harms us, but insufficient stress is actually just as harmful. ___36___. Good stress has a very different effect on our bodies than the harmful stress. What can you do to introduce good stress into your life?
Search out the right amount
Life wasn’t exactly stress-free. Therefore, go outside your comfort zone to challenge yourself. Good stress can be like medicine. And like any medicine, the dose (剂量) determines the effectiveness. Growth happens when stress falls with the sweet spot — neither too much nor too little. ___37___.
Stay true to yourself
___38___. If it feels forced, it’s probably harmful stress. Good stress isn’t about positively considering bad stress as good stress. It’s about purposefully taking on tasks that fulfill you — like a job that fits your values. Good stress should feel tough but rewarding, like training for a marathon you want to run — not one someone else signed you up for.
___39___
Physically stressing yourself in a good way can help you become mentally strong and vice versa (反之亦然). For example, exercise energetically, briefly expose (使……体验) yourself to heat and cold, and diet control now and then through time-limited eating. These practices train your body to handle stress better while also building mental strength, turning possible harm into real toughness.
Trust that you are made for some stress
Experiencing stress is not a mistake — it’s part of being human. Our human history is one of overcoming stress and becoming stronger because of it. Through repeat cycles of stress and recovery, we unlock our natural strength.___40___. Toughness is a muscle we can all build no matter where we are or what we are facing.
A. Choose meaningful challenges
B. It’s a gift we have received from our DNA
C. Make the most of your mind-body connection
D. You can’t control or avoid the long-term stress
E. The effects on us depend on the type and amount of stress
F. Ask yourself if the challenge matches what you really care about
G. In other words, push yourself into water and swim, but don’t let yourself in danger

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My parents couldn’t afford to have someone watch me at lunchtime. Because I was scared to be alone at home, I would eat quickly and run back to hide in an outside stairwell in the schoolyard to wait until afternoon classes started.
One day, Mrs. Brennan found me while getting her sweater back that had fallen out of a window. That afternoon, she told my mom that I could stay at school every lunchtime to help with some small chores (杂事), instead of going home for lunch. She would provide a meal for me as “payment”. Mom was grateful that I’d be under adult supervision (监管).
My duties started the next afternoon. When the class ended, I would race up to Mrs. Brennan’s room and get a lunch box packed with delicious food. As we ate, Mrs. Brennan listened intently to my trivial (琐碎的) childish chatter, drawing me out of my shy shell with her genuine interest. After lunch, I would clean the blackboard, chalk tray and the erasers in preparation for afternoon class.
That year, we were introduced to creative writing. Mrs. Brennan noticed my gift for writing and supplied me with extra notebooks to write down my thoughts and stories. Over time, she encouraged me to try poetry. While I was creating my poems, time seemed to stop. It was only when I saw Mrs. Brennan tidy up the blackboard that I realized I had forgotten my duties. Instead of criticizing (指责) me, she told me softly, “It was never about the chores, Mary, but about making you feel safe.”
In fifth grade, Mom made arrangements to send me elsewhere for lunch, but I continued to see Mrs. Brennan and share my creative writing with her every chance I could, never tiring of her praise and warm hugs.
On the last day of the term, she hugged me as always, but her hug was tighter and longer, saying goodbye and wishing me a good holiday.
注意:
1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Summer vacation going by fast, I rushed to school, eager to see Mrs. Brennan again.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, I decided to write a letter to Mrs. Brennan who was in hospital in another city.

【66题答案】
【答案】Dear Alex,
I’m writing to share with you an amazing experience. Last week, our school organized a visit to the city science and technology museum. The purpose was to let us learn about modern technology.
There, I saw various high-tech products, like smart robots and virtual reality devices. I also experienced a flight simulation. It was so vivid that I felt like I was really flying.
This visit was truly eye opening. It made me more interested in science and technology.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
【67题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Summer vacation going by fast, I rushed to school, eager to see Mrs. Brennan again. As I entered the schoolyard, I couldn’t wait to run up to her classroom. But when I peeked inside, her desk was empty. A strange feeling rose in my chest. I turned to a passing teacher and asked where she was. The teacher gently told me that Mrs. Brennan had fallen ill during the summer and was now in a hospital in another city. I stood there, stunned. That afternoon, I sat alone on the old stairwell, holding one of the notebooks she had given me. Without her warm smile, school felt lonely again.
The next day, I decided to write a letter to Mrs. Brennan who was in hospital in another city. I wrote about how much she meant to me and how she helped me find my voice through writing. I thanked her for making me feel safe and for seeing something in me I hadn’t seen myself. I told her I still wrote poems and cleaned the blackboard just like before. Weeks later, I got a reply.

When I had been there for three months, I started to become very worried because I couldn't find a job. The only money I was able to make was from selling my photographs on the streets, being a photographer and selling photographs was what I wanted, but I needed a company to pay me to do IT. Though I was running out of money, I still didn't give up and continued looking for a job. Then I was able to make some extra money by collecting glass for recycling, and sometimes I even borrowed money from a friend. One night, when I was feeling particularly hopeless, I received a phone call from a man asking about a picture I had sold weeks ago. He wanted to know if I had taken at myself when I said yes. He invited me to his company. IT turned out to be an advertising company, and they wanted to hire me.
